REMEMBERING BAILEY

One of our earliest and most loyal readers has been Bev VanZant over at My Fire Hydrant. Bev spends her professional and personal life doing great things for our dogs.

Recently Bev lost her beloved Bichon Frise, Bailey, after a lengthy battle with cancer. To keep Bailey’s memory alive, Bev has thrown her energies into Small Paws Rescue, a nationwide Bichon rescue that has rescued over 7,500 Bichons in 11 years from shelters, puppy mills and surrenders. Visit Bailey’s fund raising page and make a donation. You will help place a Bicon in a loving home.

Our condolences to Bev on her loss and our undying gratitude for all the wonderful things she does for us in the dog world.
